Minor/Repaint: GIJoe Toss'n'Cross Crossover

One of my favorite vehicles from GIJoe is the Toss'n'Cross Bridgelayer tank. Bridgelayer tanks in general are just neat and goes back to a love I have for the Corp of Engineers. I knew an old doctor that was in the corp and he would tell of infantry bragging about marching with Patton across Europe, while he was the one building the bridges so they could do just that.

Anyways. Actually started this figure before the Cobra BAT, but just got sidetracked, annoyed by pollyscale paints, and was busy finishing my basement. Well in the last two weeks I finsihed him up. The base figure is Dropshot and the bridge parts came from a Revell M-48 Bridgelayer model. The decals were done by me. I tried to match them up to the GIJoe Toss'n'Cross giving it the same number and some of the same positions.

that looks outstanding, man. I think the only way you could've possibly done any better would've been if you could somehow TF the bridge into something that the robot could use, like a battle station or turret or something!

Cooool. I've been wanting to do something like this for ages. I had no idea there were model kits of the actual bridge layers, though. That definitely helps me out. (I wanted to do it where the parts of the bridge ended up as big ol' arm shields, though.)

I really struggled with that because that is what I originally had intended on trying to do. With the way I have it now, I know that it can at least be done so if I were to do another one, I may be able to do something like making the halves come apart.

At most right now I have them as a shield that he can duck behind like in the pictures. The length of the bridge does not help either in terms of attaching back to him.
